'''38edo''' divides the octave into 38 equal parts of about 31.6 [[cent]]s. Since 38 = 2*19, it can be thought of as two parallel [[19edo]]s. It [[tempers out]] the same [[5-limit]] commas as 19edo, namely [[81/80]], [[3125/3072]] and [[15625/15552]]. In the [[7-limit]], we can add [[50/49]], and tempering out 81/80 and 50/49 gives [[injera]] temperament, for which 38 is the [[optimal patent val]]. In the [[11-limit]], we can add 121/120 and 176/175.
